چکیده: (2013 مشاهده) |
For patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) offers a good treatment option by physically expanding the skeletal framework. However, facial esthetics can be aggravated by MMA in patients with OSAS who have a normally positioned maxilla, a protrusive upper lip, and an acute nasolabial angle. Therefore, surgical treatment planning should be customized according to diverse skeletodental and soft-tissue patterns to produce a favorable change in facial esthetics and sleep function in patients with OSAS. In this case report, good treatment results were achieved in a young female patient with OSAS and skeletal Class II, a normally positioned maxilla, a protrusive upper lip, and acute nasolabial angle by impaction of the maxilla, autorotation/advancement of the mandible, and advancement of the chin. A customized flowchart for surgical treatment planning in OSAS that considers facial esthetics was suggested.
